Admiral RockBar
We hit up a pretty cool place this past weekend that recently opened up. The following quote came from a 5280 article that summed it up as well as I have. I think it will also explain my likeing of the establishment.
“The real beauty of the Rockbar is that virtually everything, from the carpet to the ceiling, is original. It closed on December 31, 1979, and nothing has changed since. Once they removed the piles of junk that had been stored inside (Morreale bought the motel last year) all the funky old details emerged, giving it the sort of authenticity that you can’t replicate. Imagine, if you are child of the 70s and 80s like myself, your parents’ old basement rec room crossed with the Regal Beagle bar from Three’s Company, and you’ll have an idea of what awaits you inside. This place has mirrored walls, and even mirrored ceilings behind the bar. Silver foil wallpaper with orange and gold arches line the lounge area, heavy iron lanterns with rippled gold glass illuminate the dance floor, and orange hurricane lamps complete with white plastic netting brighten up the dark wood laminated cocktail tables. And get this - they even have a small video arcade with retro games like Donkey Kong and Ms. Pacman.”
And it is that cool. For all you trashy drinkers out there. All the beer is served in cans including: Colt 45, Olympia, PBR, Schlitts, Labatt Blue, Amstel Light and Newcastle. Plus, Shots of MadDog for 1 buck all day. Lol
